SUMMARY:When the Impossible Become Possible: A first hand account of what it takes to complete the World’s Toughest Row
DESCRIPTION:Please join AdventurUs\, SheJumps\, and Between Evergreens\, for the fourth annual Bend Women’s Speaker Series – “Empowering Women Through Adventure” at Embark Coworking Community. \nWe are so excited to kick off our speaker series with local Kristen Hofer\, one of the 4 women on the Hericane Rowing team. Her sister Jen joined our speaker series in March 2024\, before the trip happened\, and now we get to hear how this adventure went! Get ready to be inspired by a tale of teamwork\, inner strength\, and what it means to achieve something beyond your wildest dreams. \nFrom Kristen: In the Summer of 2024 I was a part of a 4-women team that raced in the World’s Toughest Row\, a 2\,800 mile unsupported row from California to Hawaii. Our team spent 2 years training physically and mentally\, learning new skills\, building a campaign\, and pushing ourselves beyond what we ever thought was possible; all before even making it to the starting line. I want to share my story of deciding to take on this challenge with no previous rowing experience\, overcoming my own fear and self doubt\, and how I found sources of strength in myself\, my community\, and the strong women who inspire me. \n \nOur team set out on June 8\, 2024 and together we faced extreme weather\, sleep deprivation\, equipment failure\, and so much more. On July 19th 2024\, we finished our mid-pacific crossing in 40 days\, 22 hours\, and 14 minutes\, all while raising $35\,000 for Planned Parenthood.  \nEVENT Overview\nWhen: 🗓️  Tuesday\, January 27th\, 6:30-7:30pm (Doors open @ 6pm) \nWhere: 📍Embark Coworking Community – 2843 NW Lolo Drive\, Bend \nBeverages provided by our friends at Crux

SUMMARY:Brilliant Beavers: Cultivating Climate Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Oregon Natural Desert Association’s first online event of the 2026 High Desert Speaker Series with an evening all about beavers. Come learn about the important role of beavers in helping wildlife adapt and ecosystems thrive in a changing climate with Dr. Emily Fairfax\, Assistant Professor of Geography at the University of Minnesota and beaver researcher. \nDr. Fairfax will elaborate on how beavers support a healthy environment\, particularly their ability to retain precious desert water and combat drought. She will also outline a natural history of beavers and why we should care about helping them recover their populations in Oregon’s high desert. Jefferson Jacobs\, ONDA’s riparian restoration manager\, will join to share how our stream restoration work is grounded in creating beaver habitat to support the health of the entire ecosystem.

SUMMARY:Nature Nights: Central Oregon’s Stealthy Sierra Nevada Red Fox
DESCRIPTION:The Sierra Nevada red fox may be one of the rarest mammals in North America—but don’t tell it that. This elusive\, mountain-loving carnivore has a knack for showing up only when it feels like it…which is not often. Join Deschutes Land Trust and Jamie Bowles\, Regional Habitat Biologist with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and unofficial “fox whisperer\,” for a lively dive into what we’re learning about these high-elevation Houdinis. Jamie will share new findings on where the foxes roam\, what habitats they actually prefer (versus the ones they let us find)\, and why studying them often involves snow\, patience\, and the occasional sense of humor. Attendees will leave with a clearer picture of the fox’s status in the Central Cascades\, a few behind-the-scenes field stories\, and a renewed appreciation for one of Oregon’s most charming and frustratingly stealthy animals. This presentation is free\, but you must get your ticket online.
